WEBVTT END OF THE WEEK. RIGHT NOW, I WILL SEND IT BACK TO THE NEXT DESK. JENNIFER: NEW THIS MORNING. ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND TWO OTHERS IN THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING AFTER AN OVERNIGHT CRASH IN SOUTHWEST JEFFERSON COUNTY. MONICA: IT HAPPENED JUST HOURS AGO ON THIRD STREET ROAD. WLKY'S ERICA COGHILL JOINS US LIVE RIGHT NOW FROM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WITH THE LATEST. ERICA: MONICA, JENNIFER, THE ACCIDENT INVOLVED ONE VEHICLE CARRYING THREE PEOPLE. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WAS KILLED. ANOTHER PASSENGER WAS BROUGHT HERE TO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND IS EXPECTED TO BE OK, THE DRIVER WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO UNIVERSITY BUT AUTHORITIES HAVEN'T RELEASED THAT PERSON'S CONDITION -- THE CRASH HAPPENED AROUND 2:00 THIS MORNING IN THE 8500 BLOCK OF THIRD STREET ROAD, NEAR ARNOLDTOWN ROAD. POLICE SAY IT APPEARS THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL, OVER CORRECTED AND HIT A TREE. AUTHORITIES ARE STILL INVESTIGATING. IT'S OBVIOUSLY PRETTY DARK. SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE HERE. BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY VERY DARK. THERE ARE SOME TWISTS AND TURNS TO IT. AND WITH SPEED BEING A FACTOR, IT WOULD CERTAINLY MAKE IT A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD. ERICA: THE PERSON WHO WAS KILLED IS A MAN IN HIS 20'S. HIS IDENTITY HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED.
